Samples were printed with Series R4300 and R6200 ribbons using a Brady 300X printer, laminated to flat aluminum panels and
allowed to dwell 24 hours prior to test. Testing consisted of 5 cycles of 10 minute immersions in the specified chemical followed by
30 minute recovery periods. After the final immersion the flat samples were rubbed 10 times with cotton swabs. Testing was
conducted at room temperature.
